Successful M&A deals rely heavily on thorough planning. However, in many cases, internal IT staff simply lack the time or expertise to make merger, acquisition and divestiture projects successful.

Our Integration Methodology

When buying or selling it can sometimes be hard to determine whether a business is actually worth it. By taking the time to understand the Operational Maturity Level and the business’ people, processes and technology, you’ll be able to better understand how and why a business may be worth buying or selling.

Due Diligence

When done properly, Information Technology due diligence can identify risks of instability as well as opportunities to reduce costs while improving overall IT effectiveness.

Integration/Separation Planning

IT integrations and separations are complex and resource-intensive, so your merger or acquisition should fit in with the overall business plan in order to keep things running efficiently. In other words, the appropriate integration/separation model is critical and needs to align with your M&A strategy; determination of the future state needs to address how IT will operate on Day 1.
